Background: My DS 7 has nystagmus. This basically means that is eyes tremor and when he looks at a whiteboard for example, he needs to look at it head on and stand/sit closer to it because his vision is impaired (he is not long/short sighted but because his eyes 'wobble', his brain cannot process the image quickly enough to make it clear).
DS is not behind as such but we have been told that he is hindered because if an activity is not straight ahead of him, he has to get up to look at things head on and go back to his seat and this uses up time (they have picked up the pace now).
So my question is this, would it be unreasonable to ask that he always sits straight ahead to the activity (not jsut the whiteboard)? They work in groups so this might mean a whole group moving. Would that be really disuptive?
That is what needs to happen but I don't want to ask for them to do something that is compeltely unreasonable (I have an 18m child so have not helped out so don't know how these things work).
